Docking's not bad once you get the hang of it. Use the navball to figure out relative velocity and position, and keep your two docking ports pointing at opposing normal vectors (using the ASAS system).
WinG is a Microsoft API that ported Win95's GDI (graphics) routines to Win 3.x. I don't know why they'd bring it back, though... perhaps it's a Vista thing...
They're not really *more* powerful. But they aren't exactly powerless, either. I guess it's just powerful in a different way.
One decision by the Supreme Court can have huge impact. The President has no real equivalent to that power. He can beg and plead for some cause all he wants, but unless Congress agrees with him, he's gonna have difficulty getting anything done. The courts, on the other hand, can make a decision (after they get a relevant case) and it's almost as if their decision is now part of the Constitution (because they get to interpret what it is the Constitution says).
So it's not as if the Supreme Court has the power to control the country, but their decisions carry *a lot* of weight. And nobody's gonna veto them unless 3/4 of the states agree.
Would I be "all cool" about what? Judicial activism? Or mandatory organ "donation"?
My point was not that abortions are bad or that segregation of schools is good. In fact, I have not voiced my opinion on the topics. I was only stating that the Supreme Court has the ability to make legislation. Given a scenario where somebody sued to invalidate laws protecting people's organs, an activist Court could potentially mandate organ donation by declaring any laws that protect my organs unconstitutional. (Not that I think that's too likely.)
The GP said that they didn't have power to legislate. I am arguing that the ability to reverse any law equates to the ability to legislate.
In Roe v. Wade, the Court said that it was unconstitutional to outlaw abortion. That's the same thing as creating legislation explicitly legalizing abortion.
The Supreme Court upheld "separate but equal" prior to this, and that satisfied the equal protection clause. So, ultimately, it was their decision that separate isn't really equal that forced integration.
Sorry. My post wasn't as clear as it should have been, and I realized that shortly after I posted. I meant to say that the Court is not limited to shooting down *new* legislation.
If someone comes to them with a case on practically any topic, the Court can rule on that case, essentially writing legislation.
The Roe v. Wade ruling was effectively (according to Wikipedia.org:
establishing that laws against abortion violate a constitutional right to privacy, and effectively overturning all state laws outlawing or restricting abortion
Way wrong. The USSC is *not* limited to shooting down legislation. They can declare that any of our laws are unconstitutional.
Think Roe v. Wade, where they legalized abortion. Think Brown v. Board, where they integrated the schools. An activist court can pretty much make whatever legislation they want (once they get jurisdiction on the topic).
This wasn't a prophecy; Rehnquist was planning this all along. Robertson knew of the plan and wanted his followers to believe that he and God were closely allied.
We didn't become the worlds largest economic superpower by listening to morons like you.
No, of course we didn't. We became the world's largest economic superpower by hyperinflating everyone's salaries, then firing everyone and moving the jobs overseas.
Then couldn't they just forbid federal money being spent to compensate people for providing fetuses, rather than denying money to medical researchers trying to cure disease????

Why does Ellingson Mineral Corporation need RSA? Are they afraid of their Gibson being hacked, or something?

What federal law mandated integration?

The Roe v. Wade ruling was effectively (according to Wikipedia.org:
So, yes. They did, in effect, legalize abortion.
